It was a great treat for us when we discovered that the author of one of our absolute favorite blogs had chosen William Arthur for her latest order of personal stationery. We asked interior decorator, Patricia Gaye Tapp what inspired her selection. It's as unique and thoughtful as her brilliant blog, Little Augury. Here's what she had to say!

"The William Arthur motif I chose reminds me of Coco Chanel's camellia. It's the first flower Captain Edward 'Boy' Capel gave her and she began using it in her designs for clothes and jewelry in the 1930s. I was also inspired by this Chanel 2005 Met Costume Institute poster that hangs in my bathroom. The gray color of the stationery seemed right to get the smoky atmosphere of the black and white photograph. And, the little black and white print envelope liner has a slightly different motif, which I love."
